• A polling place locator application is available at phoenix.gov about five weeks before the City of Phoenix election. You can enter your address and the locator will provide the name and address of your polling place and a map showing the location.

Why does my polling place change?
Every effort is made to make voting as convenient as possible and to keep the same polling places for each election. However, the same polling places may not be available for each election. We ask that voters carefully check the back of their Sample Ballot and Publicity Pamphlet for the current polling place location or visit phoenix.gov.
